Wolaita Sodo Pet Bakery Icing Tray

Pale walls reflect soft, diffuse light into the corner of a service counter in Wolaita Sodo. A stainless steel tray sits low, its rim catching the indirect glow of the late morning monsoon. Inside, clear acrylic piping bags hold thick white icing, resting beside crumpled brown paper and a few stray pet hairs. The surface is cool and reflective, against the matte texture of the paper. Warm shadows pool in the deep recesses of the counter, at the base of the scene in a quiet moment of preparation. one drop of icing rests on the edge of the metal tray, waiting to be used.
